Re: Creating physical opertaing system directory with Oracle

Hi Pinaki,

You could use a java stored procedure or a C external procedure and then call either from PL/SQL. There are many security risks with this though - you should avoid exposing operating system commands to PL/SQL or SQL as this can be exploited especially if your database is accessible remotely. There are many papers about security and Oracle on my website http://www.petefinnigan.com/orasec.htm.

Kind regards

Pete
